Pump Up the Jam: Granular Media as a Quasi-Hydraulic Fluid for Independent Control Over Isometric and Isotonic Actuation.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Elastomer-granule composites have been used to switch between soft and stiff states by applying negative pressure differentials that cause the membrane to squeeze the internal grains, inducing dilation and jamming. Applications of this phenomenon hav...

The Impact of Postoperative Renal Function Recovery after Laparoscopic and Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Background and objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association between warm ischemic time (WIT) and postoperative renal function using Trifecta achievement in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who underwent robotic (RAPN) or laparosco...

Are there disparities in access to robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery among pediatric urology patients? US institutional experience.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVE: Literature suggests access to robotic surgery varies by race and payer status. We seek to investigate whether disparities exist in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery among the pediatric urology population at our tertiary academic medical ...

Robot-assisted Simple Prostatectomy Is Better than Endoscopic Enucleation of the Prostate.

European urology focus
Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy represents a solid treatment option for benign prostatic obstruction in patients with large prostate glands. This procedure offers multiple attractive features that make it a strong competitor against endoscopic en...

Does frequent use of an exoskeletal upper limb robot improve motor function in stroke patients?

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: To determine how differences in frequency of the single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) use affect the improvement of upper limb motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients.

Single port robotic assisted sacrocolpopexy: technique and tips.

International urogynecology journal
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Sacrocolpopexy is the most durable surgical procedure for the treatment of symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (Maher et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2013;(4):CD004014). The single port robotic platform has recently been...

Robot-assisted, real-time, MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy for pediatric patients with hypothalamic hamartoma: surgical technique, pitfalls, and initial results.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics
OBJECTIVE: Real-time, MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) has been reported as a safe and effective technique for the treatment of epileptogenic foci in children and adults. After the recent approval of MRgLITT by the European Med...

Reconfigurable Magnetic Liquid Metal Robot for High-Performance Droplet Manipulation.

Nano letters
Droplet manipulation is crucial for diverse applications ranging from bioassay to medical diagnosis. Current magnetic-field-driven manipulation strategies are mainly based on fixed or partially tunable structures, which limits their flexibility and v...

IoT and AI-Based Application for Automatic Interpretation of the Affective State of Children Diagnosed with Autism.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the context in which it was demonstrated that humanoid robots are efficient in helping children diagnosed with autism in exploring their affective state, this paper underlines and proves the efficiency of a previously developed machine learning-ba...
